About The Tennis Cafe

Right on the seafront, this is the sort of café that copes well with small children — buggies get in without a fuss, high chairs are there, and the outdoor tables mean nobody has to whisper. Parents mention the team making a fuss of little ones, one describing how their daughter was treated "like a princess" over afternoon tea. The bacon and sausage baps get particular praise, as does the focaccia, and the scones-and-pastries spread is a proper sit-down treat rather than a quick stop. They host children's birthday parties, and families who've done it say the staff went well beyond the minimum. Free parking helps. Worth knowing it's card-only, so don't turn up with cash, and a kids' menu and vegan options are both covered.
